This what I do occasionally to mount corals. I do it in one step, however. With the plastic still warm, I put glue on the frag, then the plastic, and another blob of glue on top. Then I just press it into the rock. It adheres almost instantly.

thanks for that! I will try that aswell

Nice post- as I am setting up a new tank, will try this with frag placement.

Great video! I've felt so silly asking how to glue things, especially when things just don't want to stay.

Excellent timing on this post. Been having some difficulties over the past few days with some particularly troublesome posts. Will give it a try. Thanks!

I had picked up a container of the moldable plastic pellets awhile back. They would be perfect for this.

Use any epoxy stick like aquastik and same method. Make a memorable epoxy ball, fit it in place, then glue it to the frag on one side, rock on the other. Frag, glue, epoxy, glue, rock.

I feel like you used to be able to just use super glue gel but all the formulas changed, its like they film over too fast now.

Yes there are different types of super glue... I like the glue gel which is not too liquid. But you have to be as rapid as possible anyway

AquaMaxx makes resin balls that are purple and white. When they are heated they turn purple. I’ve used it to aquascape and it works great. I’m sure it would work for this application as well.

probably a good idea for people who use huge amounts of the material at once

I do exactly the same. I use a toothbrush to clean the spot before gluing and press the frag, epoxy and glue sandwich in place. If I might be moving the frag at sometime I'll only use glue so it's easier to break free from the rock.

For frags - ok

I've always used Aquastik for frags but I'm so tired of it making my skimmer overflow for atleast a week. It does work great though!
